Notion Updates Report

You can now add a touch of celebration to your workspace with confetti click effects for buttons.

This new visual customisation allows you to trigger a confetti animation whenever a specific button is clicked.

Open the settings for any button, navigate to Click effect, and select Confetti.

This currently only works on page-level buttons, not database buttons.

The Notion Agent can now see exactly what you are looking at through simple text highlighting.

Similar to AI-powered coding tools like Cursor, highlighting any element on a page will now automatically add it as context to the Notion Agent. This makes it significantly easier to “zoom in” on a specific piece of information and ask the Agent to analyse, translate, or summarise that specific selection without manually providing extra background.

You can now ask your Notion AI agent to build a form from scratch, or let it suggest one automatically.

Simply ask the AI for a form, and it will design the layout and properties based on your needs, such as a “Help Desk Ticket Form”. Notion AI can now detect when a specific task seems to require a standardised input and will automatically add a form to it.

Advanced permissions for Teamspaces have officially arrived on the Business Plan, bringing powerful security features that were previously exclusive to Enterprise Plans.

You can now set teamspace-level permissions for specific users and groups.

Claude Opus, Anthropic’s most powerful model, is now available directly within Notion AI.

This addition further expands the Notion Agent’s versatility, offering users access to high-level reasoning and creative capabilities alongside other top-tier models like Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and GPT-5.1. Opus is particularly well-suited for complex analysis, deep writing tasks, and nuanced problem-solving within your workspace.

Workspace members are now available as a built-in system database, allowing you to manage your team directly within a Notion table.

This new “People” database displays critical information such as names, email addresses, “About” sections, and membership types (e.g., Member or Workspace Owner). Having this data in a database format allows for better organisation and navigation of your team directory.

You can toggle this database on or off via Settings > Workspace > General under the people section.

Figma Make now reads your Notion pages to build context and writes updates back to Notion automatically.

This integration aims to provide clarity and efficiency by giving designers direct access to project context without the constant need for tab-shuffling. By bridging the gap between documentation and the design canvas, teams can ensure that prototypes are always built using the most up-to-date acceptance criteria and PRDs.

Your AI Agent can now read a page’s entire version history to understand who changed what, and when.

This update significantly deepens your Agent’s knowledge base. When you ask your Agent a question about a document, it can now go beyond the current content and analyze the history of changes. This is incredibly useful for getting answers about why something changed, who made a specific edit, or tracking the evolution of a policy or project.

This advanced capability is available automatically within the Notion AI Agent. Just ask your Agent a question about a page’s history, and it will use the version history as a source for its answer.

You can now explicitly block Notion AI from making edits when it’s generating content for you.

This update gives you more control and security over your documents. When you are using Notion AI, you can now toggle off its ability to directly edit your page content. This is a crucial setting for protecting important documents, ensuring the AI only provides suggested text rather than automatically writing over or inserting new content.

This control is available directly in the AI console. Just look for the Edits toggle when you activate the AI, and ensure it is unchecked if you want to restrict the AI to read-only access.

Your new browser tabs can now open directly to Notion, giving you one-step quicker access to your workspace.

Notion just launched a new Chrome extension that allows you to set Notion as the default page for every new browser tab you open. You can customize what opens when you launch a new tab, choosing between your Home page, the Last visited page, the Top page in your sidebar, or even the Notion AI console.

To get started, install the Notion New Tab extension for Google Chrome. Once added, open the extension to configure which of your workspaces it connects to and select your preferred start page from the Open on start settings.

You can now launch Notion AI Meeting Notes directly from your web browser, instead of relying only on the desktop app.

This update significantly expands the accessibility of the one-click AI Meeting Notes feature. Now, if you are working entirely in your browser, you can still start AI notes for your video calls without needing to switch to the dedicated desktop application. This makes the feature more convenient for all web-based workflows.

While the feature is now available in the browser, be aware of a limitation: the browser can only capture microphone audio. For complete summaries during video calls (capturing both microphone and system audio), you still need to use the Notion desktop application.

Conditional coloring in databases is now much more powerful, working with formulas, relations, and rollups.

This tune-up expands conditional coloring far beyond simple properties. You can now set rules to color a row based on complex logic calculated by a formula (e.g., risk level), the status of a related project, or a numerical rollup (e.g., budget completion). This makes visual categorization incredibly dynamic.

To access these new options, open the ••• menu on your database view, select Conditional color, and choose + Add another. You will now see all your Formula, Relation, and Rollup properties available in the selection list.

You can now connect your calendar to Notion to give every meeting a dedicated space for prep, notes, and follow-up.

This update streamlines your entire meeting workflow by creating a single, organized home for all your meetings. Before your meeting, a dedicated note space is automatically created and shared with participants. During the meeting, you get a one-click reminder in the Notion app to jump straight into AI Meeting Notes. Afterward, all your notes are automatically collected and stored in one organized location for easy follow-up.

To enable this feature, connect your calendar within Notion. This will ensure every upcoming meeting gets its own linked page, making note-taking frictionless and keeping all your meeting intelligence centralized.

AI Meeting Notes can now cite their sources, allowing you to easily verify where each takeaway came from.

Meeting summaries generated by Notion AI now include citations that link directly back to the relevant section in the full meeting transcript. This means you can instantly jump to the exact moment in the conversation that produced a specific action item or key takeaway, adding transparency and accuracy to your summaries.

This feature is automatically available in your AI Meeting Notes. Simply review a summary and click on the citation to be taken directly to the corresponding part of the transcript.

Your Notion AI can now access information from your private Slack channels and direct messages!

This update significantly expands the utility of the Slack AI Connector. Previously, Notion AI could only access public channels, not private ones. This addition is helpful for management and knowledge retrieval where key context often lives in private, secure conversations.

To enable this access, the Slack AI Connector needs to be updated. Importantly, every user must individually authenticate to grant the connector permission to access their private channels and messages.

You can now navigate and select data faster within your Notion databases using new keyboard shortcuts.

This small update brings more spreadsheet-like efficiency to your databases, especially in Table view. The two new shortcuts allow you to quickly move around and select large amounts of data:

• Cmd/Ctrl + arrows: Instantly jump to the end of the row or column.
• Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + arrows: Instantly select everything to the edge of the database data.

Your Notion AI Agent can now read page comments when answering your questions, providing you with more informed and contextual answers.

This update significantly improves the intelligence of your Agent. When you ask it a question about a page, it no longer just reads the body text; it also considers the insights, feedback, and discussion points left in the comments. This is especially useful for pages like meeting notes or project docs where key context often lives in the discussion thread.

Your Notion databases just got two powerful new functions: formatNumber and splice.

The formatNumber function is a huge quality-of-life update that lets you easily format numbers with commas, currency symbols (like €12,346), or even automatically “humanize” large numbers (like 1.2M) and data sizes (like 2 KiB). The splice function works just like the popular JavaScript method, letting you insert, delete, or replace items in lists within your formulas without complex workarounds.

You can now pick icon colors directly as you select your icon, saving you a step in customization.

This is a great quality-of-life update to the icon picker menu. Instead of selecting an icon, closing the menu, opening the menu again to select a color, and then applying it, you can now change the color right alongside the icon selection. This makes customizing your pages and database entries faster and more intuitive.

You can now use the Notion API to create pages directly from your existing templates.

This is a major win for automation, allowing developers to build automated workflows and one-click updates that rely on pre-built templates. The update gives developers the ability to apply a data source template to a newly created page, and it includes a new, optional body parameter called erase_content that helps clear a page’s existing content before reapplying a template.

Developers will need to refer to the official Notion API documentation on creating pages from templates for the specific body parameters and syntax required to call and utilize your existing database and page templates.

You can now apply Conditional Colors in your databases based on the results of a Formula property.

This update dramatically expands the visual organization capabilities of your databases. Previously, conditional colors were limited to simple properties, but now you can use them with complex formulas. This means you can create rules to automatically highlight rows based on dynamic criteria, such as overdue events, complex budget thresholds, or performance metrics calculated by a formula.

To set up this powerful feature, open the ••• menu on your database view, select Conditional Color, and choose + New color setting. When selecting the property to base the condition on, you will now see all of your Formula properties available in the list.

You can now set custom meeting note preferences for each Notion workspace you use with Notion Calendar.

This update solves the problem of meeting notes landing in the wrong place by allowing you to designate a specific default meetings database for each linked Notion workspace. For example, notes from your personal calendar can go to your “Personal Projects” database, while your work meetings land in your “Team Meetings” database, keeping all your information perfectly organized.

To set your preferences, open Notion Calendar settings and go to Notion workspaces. From there, you can choose the default meetings database for each linked workspace.

Map view lets you visualize your database items on an interactive map, perfect for planning trips, tracking sites, and organizing fieldwork.

This new Map View is powered by the new Place property, which can be easily populated by granting access to your current location, entering an address, or searching for a location name. Once the property is set up, you can add a map view to your database or create a new one by typing /map on a page. You can then click any pin to open the corresponding database item.

To get started, simply add a new Place property to your database and select Map when creating a new view. Keep in mind that for now, the map view can display up to 100 items at once, and filtering and sorting are text-based on the place’s name or address.

Anthropic’s newest AI model Claude Sonnet 4.5 is now integrated into Notion AI.

This integration allows you better reasoning and smarter planning capabilities for your tasks. Access it by selecting the model in the AI panel’s options.

You can now find and use information from your emails directly inside Notion.

The new Notion Mail connector has just launched, allowing your Notion AI to search across your connected Notion Mail account to retrieve the specific details you need. Your AI Agent can now find “That One Email” and use its contents to provide richer answers, all without you having to leave your Notion workspace.

To enable this, head to your Settings and look for the new Notion AI section to find the connector options.

You don’t have to provide full database access to someone anymore.

This is a major update for teams and companies, allowing you to set specific access rules for a page or database based on a person property. For example, you can automatically grant “Can edit” access to the “Owner” of a project or give “Can view” access to anyone selected in a “Reviewer” property. This level of control streamlines workflows and ensures the right people always have the right access.

To use these new rules, go to the Share menu on any page. You’ll see a new option to Add a new rule, where you can customize access based on a variety of properties and roles.

You can now receive Notion notifications right inside Discord.

This new integration allows you to connect your Notion workspace with your Discord account. When enabled, you’ll receive a direct notification on Discord whenever you’re mentioned in a Notion page, a database property, or a comment, keeping you in the loop without having to switch apps.

To set it up, go to your Notion settings. Find the new Discord option and simply toggle it on to start receiving your mentions and updates.

A small animation update makes margin comments feel smoother and more responsive.

Margin comments now appear with a smooth, gliding animation.

Companies’ data in Notion can now reside in the EU!

Notion Enterprise Plan customers are given the option to choose the European Union as the storage location for their workspace data at rest. This is a significant move toward helping businesses comply with EU data residency laws, giving them more control over where their data is stored.

While this is a major step forward, it’s not a perfect solution yet. There are a few limitations to be aware of: the feature only covers certain types of data, and information like user accounts, billing, and analytics, Notion Calendar, Notion Mail, and any Beta Services are not covered by this data residency feature.

The /ai block is now smarter and can pull information from more places to give you better answers.

The /ai block just got a major refresh. Previously, it was quite limited and could only use the content on your current page to generate a response. Now, Notion AI can pull information from your entire workspace, the web, and even Slack, allowing for richer, more accurate, and more comprehensive results.

To use the updated block, simply type /ai on any page. The enhanced functionality is automatically built-in, so you can start getting more powerful AI-generated responses right away.

You can now store and download local copies of your meeting audio.

This new feature automatically saves the 10 most recent audio files from your AI Meeting Notes directly to your local device. This gives you a personal, private copy of the audio that only you, as the meeting recorder, can access and download for your own use.

This capability is turned off by default. To enable it for your workspace, go to Settings & members, then My settings, click on Notion AI, and toggle on Store audio locally. This feature is still in the process of rolling out to all users.

You can now automatically save all your AI Meeting Notes to a single database.

This new setting allows you to designate a default database for all your AI-generated meeting notes. Instead of having them scattered across your workspace, this feature ensures that every note you create with the one-click meeting notes button is automatically saved in one central hub. This keeps your meeting notes organized and easy to find.

To set this up, go to Settings & members, then navigate to My settings and click on Notion AI. From there, you’ll see a section for AI Meeting Notes, where you can link to an existing database or create a new one to store all your future meeting notes.

You can now easily mention an entire group of people at once in your databases.

Notion has enabled Group Mentions in databases. This means you no longer have to manually tag each person when you need to get a team’s attention. Instead, you can simply mention a group—like your marketing or finance team—and everyone in that group will receive a notification. This makes it much faster to assign tasks or share updates with the right people.

To use this feature, just pick a people property and start typing the name of a group. The group will appear in the mention menu, and a single click will select & notify everyone you need to reach.

You now have more control over your page layout by choosing where comments appear.

This new feature allows you to decide if page comments go before or after the main page content. Previously, comments were in a fixed location, but now you can place them where it makes the most sense for your workflow. For instance, you might want comments at the top for quick access on collaborative docs or at the bottom to keep them out of the way on a long-form article.

To change this setting, go to the ••• menu at the top-right of any page and select Customize page. From there, you will find a new option to set your preferred location for all page comments.

Starting your meeting notes is now a single click away on desktop.

Notion can now automatically detect when you join a meeting and give you a one-click prompt to start your notes. This new feature helps you avoid the hassle of setting up a new page, so you can focus on the meeting itself. It also uses AI to help you summarize and organize your notes as you go.

This feature is available on the Notion desktop app. To see it in action, just join a video call with the desktop app running, and the AI meeting notes prompt will appear automatically.

You can now create complex Notion formulas just by describing what you want in plain language.

Notion has introduced AI Formulas, which makes creating powerful database functions incredibly simple. You no longer bound to knowing Notion’s formula language. Instead, you can simply tell Notion AI what you want the formula to do, and it will write the correct code for you automatically.

To use this feature, you need to be on the Business Plan and add a Formula property to your database. When you open the formula editor, you can type your request in plain English, and Notion AI will handle the rest. This makes a powerful part of Notion accessible to everyone.

You can now use Notion without an internet connection.

Notion’s new offline mode lets you view, edit, and even create new pages when you’re not connected to the internet. Any changes you make will be saved locally on your device and will sync automatically the next time you get a signal. This means your workflow remains uninterrupted, whether you’re on a flight or simply trying to focus without distractions.

To enable this, simply open any page you need to access offline, click the ••• menu in the top-right corner, and turn on Available offline. Remember to do this on every device you plan to use. On a paid plan, your recent and favorited pages are automatically saved for you.

Now you can see your tasks and calendar events on the same page in Notion Calendar.

Say hello to the new list panel, which lets you connect a Notion database with dates directly to your Notion Calendar. This feature puts your tasks and projects side-by-side with your scheduled events, so you can plan your week and manage deadlines all in one place.

To start using this, just connect any database that has a date property to your calendar. You’ll then be able to see your tasks and events together, making it easier to schedule your work and stay on track.

The wait is over: Notion Mail for iOS is now available on the App Store.

Notion Mail is now available for download on iOS devices, bringing your email and your Notion workspace closer together on your iPhone or iPad. This update also includes support for more than 18 languages, making Notion Mail more accessible to users around the world.

To get started, simply download the Notion Mail app from the App Store on your iOS device. The new language support will be available automatically.

You can now switch pages much faster with new keyboard shortcuts.

Notion has added a bunch of new keyboard shortcuts to help you navigate and edit pages more efficiently. These shortcuts are designed to help you quickly perform frequent actions without ever having to take your hands off the keyboard.

To see all the available shortcuts, simply press Cmd/Ctrl + / on your keyboard. This will bring up a menu where you can discover all the new ways to speed up your workflow.

Notion AI now gives you access to the powerful new GPT-5 model from OpenAI.

You can now choose OpenAI’s GPT-5 as your preferred AI model right within Notion. This integration brings the latest in AI technology to your workspace, allowing you to get even more advanced, accurate, and powerful responses for all your AI tasks, from writing to data analysis.

To switch to the new model, simply open the Notion AI panel and click on the current model name. You can then select OpenAI GPT-5 from the list of available options.

You can now personalize your checkbox lists with a variety of colors.

This update allows you to change the color of checkboxes in your Notion pages. This little aesthetic tweak could also be helpful for organizing and categorizing your checklists!

To change a checkbox’s color, simply click the drag handle (the six dots). From the pop-up menu, select Color and choose the desired color.

Notion AI can now perform multi-step tasks for you, acting like a built-in power user.

This update transforms Notion AI from a simple text generator into an integrated tool that can actually use and manipulate your workspace. It can now handle complex jobs like editing multiple pages at once, updating entire databases, and other multi-step actions, all from a single prompt.

This new functionality is being rolled out over the next few weeks. To access it, you will need to have Notion AI enabled in your workspace. Once available, you can use the new, expanded prompts to ask Notion AI to perform these advanced tasks for you.

Managing items with sub-items is now more logical and intuitive.

When you duplicate an item, its sub-items are now duplicated along with it. Similarly, when you delete a parent item, all its sub-items are also deleted automatically. This update ensures that your sub-items are always handled in a way that matches the action you take on the parent item.

This is an automatic update to how items with sub-items behave. You don’t need to enable anything; the new functionality is now the default behavior when you duplicate or delete a parent item in a database.

Mermaid charts in your Notion pages now have a much cleaner and more organized layout.

This update automatically improves the rendering of all Mermaid charts, both new and old. Notion has switched the default layout engine to Elk, which is designed to create better-structured diagrams. This means that your flowcharts, graphs, and other diagrams will appear more neatly arranged and are easier to follow.

This change is a backend update, so you don’t need to do anything to enable it. All Mermaid charts on your pages are automatically rendered with the new, improved layout engine.

Finding out who’s viewed and edited a page is now a single click away.

The small “+X” viewer counter, which appears on pages with multiple visitors, is now clickable. Clicking this counter will instantly open the page analytics sidebar, where you can see a detailed list of everyone who has viewed and edited the page. Previously, you had to navigate through a separate menu to access this information.

To see who has been on a page, simply click on the viewer count located in the top right corner of the page. This feature is available on pages where more than one person has viewed or edited the content.

Now it’s much faster to set a custom page icon with an image from your clipboard.

This new feature allows you to use local image files directly as custom page icons. Previously, you were limited to using a URL to an image hosted online. This update streamlines the process by letting you copy an image from your computer and simply paste it into the custom icon section.

To use it, just copy an image file, like a screenshot or a saved JPG, to your clipboard. Then, open the Notion page icon menu, click on Upload, and paste your image.

Notion databases just got a major visual upgrade with the new Conditional Formatting feature.

You can now automatically color-code entire rows in your databases based on the properties you set, such as highlighting all tasks due this week in a specific color.

To get started, just click the ... menu on any database view, select “Color”, and start creating rules to make your data stand out.

Notion now has a new way to help you declutter important pages and switch between different contexts.

New Tab Groups let you group related pages together. Just look for the new tab options when you’re setting up your Notion pages or spaces to start tidying things up.

This makes it much simpler to organise your Notion pages in terms of spaces like work, life or creative stuff.

Notion’s AI connector capabilities have expanded once again, now offering the popular issue-tracking app, Linear.

Notion AI can now search for and link to your Linear projects and issues directly from Notion, streamlining your project management and documentation workflows.

You only have to enable the connector in the Settings under Notion AI.

How about Notion, for free?

Really cool collaboration this month – if you have LinkedIn Premium, you can get 6 months of Notion including AI for free.

Click here to redeem it.

Connecting Claude to Notion is now a breeze, letting the AI get things done for you right inside your workspace.

And it’s not just for Notion!

You can also hook Claude up with other popular tools like Canva, Figma, Stripe, and Zapier. These new connections are available for paid users on both web and desktop.

You can now apply a default reminder to an entire Date column.

If you’ve ever been frustrated with reminders in Notion, then this one is for you!

Just set it up once for the column, and any date added from then on will automatically get that reminder. The best part is that it works everywhere, no matter whether the date is added manually, through a template, or via an automation.

Now, whenever you hover over someone’s @-mention, a handy little profile card pops right up with their key info.

This card is also your ticket to a new, full-blown profile page for your teammate. Click on it to see their latest activity, who they collaborate with most, and the teamspaces they’re in. It’s the perfect way to quickly see what your colleagues are working on, making it easier to connect or book a meeting.

Getting your data into Notion from a CSV file just got a lot smoother! It’s now much easier to set up your columns and see how everything will look before you bring it in.

When you import a CSV file, you can now tell Notion what kind of content is in each column – like if it’s a number, text, or a date. You also get a quick preview of your database right there. Find this by going to Database Page Settings -> Merge with CSV.

Notion now has a new Feed view that brings a familiar web page feel to your databases.

Every entry in your database will turn into a scrollable card that shows a preview of the actual page content – giving you a window into your notes and media from the Notion page body.

To try it out, just go to your database views and pick “Feed” from the list of options.

Good news for your Notion Calendar! You can now see and manage any Notion database directly in your Calendar, as long as it has dates.

If your Notion database has a date property, it can now show up in your Notion Calendar. This makes it super easy to keep track of tasks and deadlines, helping you manage your time right from your calendar. No special setup or specific database view is needed anymore.

Notion database just got a refresh with many UI improvements!

You’ll notice some handy updates: settings for databases are now accessed via a dedicated icon instead of the three dots, and the menu has been reorganised for less scrolling. Creating new database properties is also more intuitive with a new “select type” option that lets you name the property directly. You can minimise and expand database settings, and the database header line was abandoned. Rightly so! Plus, you can now right-click on existing properties to quickly insert new ones to their left or right.

To put it in a nutshell, there is less distraction now. Also for the mobile view.

You can now send custom Slack messages from Notion automations.

Just set up an automation and choose the Slack notification action. You can write your own message, mention people, use variables like @now, and add emojis. This works with database automations and button blocks, so you can provide your team with the necessary context!

You can now choose to hide the blue banner at the top of your published Notion pages.

To use this, go to your site settings and disable the “Always show published banner on sites” option.

Notion is now officially available in the Microsoft Store.

This means you can download and install Notion directly from the Microsoft Store on your Windows device.

You can also sign in to Notion using your Outlook account. Plus, you can connect Notion to other Microsoft services like OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. This makes it easier to access your files, share documents, and work with your team.

You can now view and change the status of any Notion database item directly in Notion Calendar.

No need to switch apps. Just click the task, pick the new status, and you’re done.

Notion AI now lets you use Claude 4 for smarter answers, better coding, and improved memory inside your workspace.

Claude 4 in Notion AI is now much more reliable for important business tasks. It makes fewer mistakes and keeps track of details over time, making it safer for things like financial checks, legal work, or managing sensitive projects.

Notion’s File Upload API lets you automatically upload files right into your workspace.

You can upload files under 20MB in one go. For larger files, you split them into parts (5–20MB each), upload each part, and then complete the upload. You can also import files from external URLs.

To get started, create a file upload object using the API. Then upload your file (or each part, for large files) to the provided URL. Once uploaded, you can attach the file to database properties, the page body, page covers, icons, or supported block types. Files must be attached within 1 hour or they’ll be deleted, but you can reuse the same upload across multiple locations.

This removes the need for manual uploads. You can now automate adding files like PDFs, images, or videos anywhere in Notion!

In my YouTube video, I walk you through each step!

Notion Formulas just added a new count() method.

This makes it much simpler to count items in a database compared to the old way, where you had to use filter().length(). The new method accepts the current context, so you can write shorter, clearer formulas.

To use it, just call count() on your list.

For example, instead of writing deals.filter(current.Status == "lost").length(), you can now write deals.count(current.Status == "lost"). This works for counting tasks, items, or anything else in your database, and helps keep your formulas clean and easy to manage.

If you want to learn more use cases, check out my Notion Masterclass for formulas & automations

Notion just released a big update that changes how AI is priced and used in Notion.

Now, unlimited Notion AI access is included with Business and Enterprise plans.

That means your team gets powerful AI tools without extra add-ons. The update also expands AI across your workspace and connected apps, making Notion a central place for company knowledge, meeting notes, research, and AI chat.

You can search across more connected apps with Enterprise Search, automatically transcribe meeting notes, and quickly generate detailed docs with Research Mode. The AI Home tab brings all these features together, plus chat with top AI models like GPT-4.1 and Claude 3.7.

Watch the video for more details or check out our big Notion AI Guide!

Notion Mail is a new email client that sits right inside the Notion ecosystem.

Now you can use familiar Notion features—like custom views, properties, and filters—to sort and manage emails however you like.

Notion Mail is a standalone app (like Notion Calendar) and currently works with Gmail only, though the Outlook integration is supposed to come soon.

With Notion AI (available on a paid plan), emails can be automatically labelled, and you can draft replies using information from your workspace. For example, if you’re hiring, you can set up a “Job Applications” view that sorts and tracks candidate emails with custom statuses like “Interview Scheduled” or “Offer Sent”.

Notion Mail is free to use, except for the AI features. If you want your email, calendar, and workspace all working together, it’s definitely worth a try.

Notion has open-sourced its Model Context Protocol (MCP), now available on GitHub.

MCP is a standard way for AI models and tools to connect with Notion, making it much easier to build custom AI integrations. You can plug MCP into your favourite client—like Claude Desktop or Cursor AI—and start connecting Notion to your AI workflows in just a few minutes.

To get started, set up a Notion integration and connect it to the MCP server. You can run the server using npm or Docker, then add your integration token and link your Notion pages or databases. Once set up, your AI client can search, read, create, and update Notion content using natural language or API calls—all through a single, standardised interface.

This update means you can build richer, more flexible AI-powered tools with Notion, without having to manage complex, custom integrations. Everything you need is open-source and ready to use on GitHub.

Notion Calendar now has built-in scheduling, so you can book meetings without leaving the app.

Organise all your meeting links, set your availability, and handle both one-time and recurring meetings. You can also add phone numbers, locations, or custom links to your invites.

To use it, just click “Scheduling” in Notion Calendar. Set when you’re free, create a link, and share it—people can book time with you right there. Everything happens inside Notion Calendar, so no extra tools are needed.

Can this replace Calendly for you?

Notion’s tablet app now feels more like a desktop.

Updates include a collapsible sidebar, inbox as a drawer, favourite pages in the top bar, cleaner layouts with templates at the bottom, and full workspace settings.

Definitely not a revolutionary update, but a noticeable improvement for iPad users!

Notion Forms finally have conditional logic!

This means you can show follow-up questions based on answers to Select or Multi-Select questions.

To use it, add a Select or Multi-Select question, click the three dots, and choose “Add conditional logic”. You can set conditions to show related questions based on exact matches. For example, if someone selects “Yes”, you can display more fields tied to that answer. This helps tailor forms to specific inputs.

For now, this feature is only available on Business and Enterprise plans. If you need more advanced features like hiding questions or custom branding, tools like Tally offer free alternatives that integrate well with Notion. Watch my video here:

Notion has introduced webhooks for integrations—a highly requested developer feature!

This update allows Notion to send real-time notifications to connected tools when content changes. No more polling or workarounds!

Webhooks help Notion talk to other apps instantly. When something changes in Notion, other tools get notified right away. This makes it easy to keep data up-to-date across different tools, send automatic updates to teams, or publish content from Notion to a blog.

Apps like Zapier, Marker.io, Sync2Sheets, and 2sync are already using webhooks with Notion. This makes connecting Notion to other tools easy and efficient. Previously, webhook actions in Notion allowed users to trigger workflows in third-party apps using tools like Zapier or Make. This is now more seamless and responsive for external integrations.

You can now connect your Apple Calendar to Notion.

This update means Apple Calendar users can now enjoy similar integration benefits that were previously available only to Google Calendar users.

To set up this integration, go to Notion settings and look for the Apple Calendar connection option. Once connected, you can view and manage your Apple Calendar events right in Notion. Due to the 2-way-sync you can try out Notion Calendar with no additional effort and always go back to Apple Calendar.

Notion has launched a new Admin Console for enterprise customers.

This update improves workspace management by introducing centralised controls and better overview.

Admins can now assign an Organisation Owner role with higher permissions than workspace owners. The console provides a clear overview of members, guests, and security settings across all workspaces. Settings can be managed at the organisation, workspace, or teamspace level, making administration faster and more efficient.

Click “manage organization” in the sidebar to access the admin console and check out the best practices to manage your enterprise workspace.

Now it’s possible to see the underlying data with just one click!

That means you have now super quick access to a filtered and dropped view that shows you the actual data set. So it is much easier to find what you’re looking for and to drill deeper into the data that powers a chart.

Some useful applications of Notion Charts are covered in this video. Here’s also a template to get started!

Notion AI lets you translate entire pages with one click.

This feature is available in Notion plans that include the Notion AI add-on. It’s perfect for teams or individuals working across multiple languages. With just a few clicks, you can convert your page content into a wide range of supported languages, making collaboration and communication smoother.

At the moment, you’ll see this prompt whenever a page is in a language that is different from your workspace language.

To use this, open the page you want to translate and click at the three dots in the top-right corner. Select the “Translate” option and choose your desired language. Notion AI will process the content and provide a translated version instantly. It gives you the option to create a duplicate of the translation. Otherwise, it will change back to the original afterwards.

This feature supports languages like Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish.

Notion AI now connects to Jira.

This lets you ask questions about projects, issues, and tasks directly in Notion. With Jira data in your workspace, it’s even easier to manage projects and collaborate without switching tools.

To set it up, go to the Notion AI section in your workspace and click “Connect Jira.” Follow the steps to authenticate your Jira account.

You can now verify any Notion Page.

This feature was previously only available on Notion Wikis, but now you can verify all pages and database entries. This helps you keep important pages like policies, procedures, or onboarding guides up-to-date by marking them as reviewed and setting reminders for regular checks.

To do so, you only have to create the new property “Verification” in your database or click on the “Verify” button that pops up in your page header.

Notion now allows you to adjust the timeline view to span up to 5 years.

This makes it easier to plan and visualise long-term projects.

This new scope option is accessible from the dropdown menu in the timeline view.

Notion just released tabs for Database Layouts!

Plus, we also get two quality of life improvements: set pages to full-width by default, and hide labels on pinned properties for a cleaner look.

To change the layout click on “Customise layout” on a database page and select the new option “tabbed”. From here, you can add new customisable tabs just like you would create new database views.

Notion has updated its button functionality.

You can now choose to add a block not just below or above the button, but also to the top or bottom of your page.

Ask Notion AI to create databases based on your input.

You can go for general requests like “Build an employee directory database” or give detailed instructions like “Create a database with these properties and views”. The AI will guide you through adding more details and customising the setup step by step.

Some useful applications and limitations are covered in this video. 

Notion Forms now lets you adjust the access level for respondents, allowing submissions to be revisited and edited.

This feature is currently limited to internal forms (not public) where anonymous submissions are disabled. Simply set “Access to submission” to “Can edit” or any other permission level you want.

Notion has made automations more flexible with the new Every {frequency} trigger. 

This feature allows you to set recurring automations that repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or at many other intervals. You can also specify when the automation starts and ends, the time it triggers, and the timezone it follows.

Notion’s List View just got a refresh!

Your different properties display now much cleaner.

Rather than having half-hidden fields and cut-off checkboxes, elements are now displaying clearly and consistently.

Notion just got better error handling for database automations.

If an automation of yours fails, you’ll now receive a quick notification with an explanation of the problem.

This is a first step to help make Notion Automations more robust for company use cases.

Notion now allows you to set specific decimals wherever you have a number property in a database.

To use this feature, go to the settings of a number property in your database, select the “Number with commas” format, and define how many decimal places (0–5) you want displayed.

Note that the actual number will not be changed, so it stays true to its value for any follow-up calculations.

You can now adjust the Y-axis on vertical bar charts and the X-axis range on horizontal bar charts. Additionally, captions can be added for better context.

These updates allow you to set fixed maximums, such as capping the Y-axis at 2k to reflect monthly expense thresholds. Simply open chart settings to customise axis ranges or add captions under “More style options”.

This makes it easier to tailor charts to your needs, whether for tracking goals or presenting data without distortion.

Notion now supports passkeys, offering a more secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords.

To set up a passkey, go to My account in your settings, select Add passkey, and choose where to store it (e.g., iCloud Keychain, Chrome Profile, or a password manager). You can add up to five passkeys for flexibility.

To log in, simply select Continue with Passkey on the login page and confirm using your biometric method. 

Notion introduces Notion Faces — a fun and easy way to create your own Notion-style avatar in seconds.

Simply visit Notion Faces to design a custom self-portrait inspired by the Notion aesthetic and add your personal touch to make it uniquely yours.

So if you’re current headshot is a bit outdated or you simply want to have a fun little avatar, now’s the perfect time.

You can now enable or disable sub-items in any database view without breaking related database relations.

Just head over to the Customise Database settings and select Sub-items. From there, you can choose how sub-items are displayed on a per-view basis.

Even if you disable sub-items in one view, the database relations and setups remain unchanged in other views, giving you the flexibility to set up your Notion workspace exactly as you need.

Notion Calendar now lets you set the maximum lead time and the expiration date for scheduling links.

You can now specify the maximum number of days to limit how far in advance meetings can be scheduled with you. Additionally, you can set an expiration date for scheduling links so they are only active for a defined period.

You can now set custom URL slugs for your Notion Sites.

When publishing a Notion site, you have the option to customise the URL slug for any Notion page. Instead of the previous “page name + ID” format, you can now create something short and effective.

This feature is currently only available on paid Notion plans.

We can finally send webhooks from Notion!

Starting today, Notion Webhooks are available as an action in Notion Automations. You can either use the normal database triggers or a button to send a POST request to any URL.

This webhook includes the ID of the entry that triggered the webhook. You can also include any number of property values to be sent along.

Notion just released its latest AI connector – this time for Github.

To link your GitHub repositories, go to the Notion AI tab or click the Notion AI icon (bottom-right), open the three-dot menu, and select Connect GitHub.

AI Connectors allow Notion AI to answer your questions by also scanning documentation, pull requests, issues, discussions, or anything stored in your GitHub repositories .

Notion has changed the color picker in the app for text and background colours.

The new version is a lot more compact than the previous design-

The available options remain the same and you can still use cmd +s shift + h to quickly apply the last color chosen to text without even using the picker

Notion has introduced four new shortcuts to the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.

Simply open the Shortcuts app, search for Notion, and you will find these new shortcut options:

• Add Text Box to Page
• Create Document
• Open Document
• Search

Notion Forms just released which will make it easier than ever to capture information for your databases.

You can now type /form or add a new view to any existing database to launch Notion’s built-in form builder.

Forms allow you to create specific questions for every property in your database.

Then, you can share that form either internally and embed it anywhere in your workspace or make it public to collect input from externals.

You can now customise the way a database displays information on the detail pages (what you see when you click into any entry in your database).

To do so, open a page inside a database, hover over the page title and you should see the new “Customise Layout” option.

Keep in mind that you can currently only have ONE layout per database, so it’s not possible (yet) to build different templates for specific entries within the same database.
